Add an exported header file <asm/ech.h> containing the definitions of
some bits which can be set in D0.8 to indicate to the kernel that
certain DSP state should be preserved. The definitions have the same
names and values as the ones in the kernel-internal <asm/tbx.h>, to
make it easier for DSP assembly code to be compatible between Linux and
non-Linux operating systems.

Add the remaining metag header files:
- byteorder.h, swab.h (byte order and swapping)
- barrier.h, cpu.h. hwthread.h, processor.h (hardware thread related)
- bug.h, elf.h, gpio.h, linkage.h, resource.h (other)

Add metag system call and gateway page interfaces. The metag
architecture port uses the generic system call numbers from
asm-generic/unistd.h, as well as a user gateway page mapped at
0x6ffff000 which contains fast atomic primitives (depending on SMP) and
a fast method of accessing TLS data.
System calls use the SWITCH instruction with the immediate 0x440001 to
signal a system call.

The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.
struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.
struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.
struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.
Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.
